"; _ ~• have grown old in the habit of domination, which of all habits it is most difficult to resign ; and they employ their power almost invariably against the people. Whence comes their power ? From the source of all political power—the people—who can, when they please, take from them the power which they now possess. But, say our opponents, the people love the Lords ; the people delight in submitting to the aristocracy ; the people are worshippers of wealth and .rank, even when united with ignorance and vice. Ido not, for my part, believe these assertions, for they are only n disguised way of saying that the English people are abject slaves, and delight in their slavery. This is not the truth ; this is as far from truth as darkness is from light.—(Cheers.) But the people, having been misgoverned and oppressed in ancient times by the aristocracy, have, in latter times, been deceived by the plausible sophistries of the aristocratic party, who were continually telling them, with an appear ance of good faith and sincerity, that the aristocracy were their best friends, and those who opposed the aristocracy their worst enemies. You are wiser now than to believe them your friends.—(Loud cheers.) You now see the evil—will you hesitate to seek and to apply a re- medy ? You must either submit tamely to the domi nation of the Lords, or you must reform them.—(Great cheering.) Oh ! exclaim some of our friends, pray take patience ; the Lords have always made concessions when they have been sufficiently frightened, and so they will again. Concession ! Why the very word is an insult. We ask not for concessions—let trembling slaves beg for concessions from their proud masters —we demand what is just from those into whose hands we have intrusted power for the common good, and we will have it.—(Great cheer ing.) The question for the people of England to decide is, whether they will be governed on the representative re sponsible system or the hereditary irresponsible system. But, say many persons, have they power to decide the question ? To that I answer, that if they are firm and united they have most undoubtedly the power—and this is an occasion for them to exert their power.—(Great cheer ing.) I verily believe that the time must soon come when the Lords will be roused from their dream of pride and fancied power, and superiority, and pre-eminence, by the voice of united millions, proclaiming, in tones of thunder to their startled ears, that the will of the people is supreme, and must be obeyed. At the conclusion of this speech the meeting rose, and greeted the Hon. Gentleman with enthusiastic and long continued applause. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The health of J. S. Earle Drax, Esq., of Charborough-park." Mr. DRAX returned thanks in a speech full of humour. He declared himself a decided advocate of a reform of the House of Lords, the vote by ballot, and triennial Parlia ments. He considered those the three tests of a true Re former. His grandfather had represented the city of Lon don for thirty years, and had been the steady advocate of liberal principles. He was warmly cheered throughout. The CUAIRMAN proposed as a last toast, " The people, the only source of all legitimate power." The meeting, having given three times three cheers for Reform, separated at ten o'clock. As respects station, wealth, respectability, and numbers, it was the largest and most influential ever held in that part of the country. In Somerset, at least, there is no reaction. EAST CORNWALL. IMPORTANT MEETING OF REFORMERS AT ST. INIABYN. (Abridged from the Devonport Independent.) The CHAIRMAN said it would be better to begin the business by reading to them (the Yeomanry of Trigg) the letter of Sir Colman Rashleigh, and also one he held in his hand from Mr. Trevanion. He accordingly read the former, which expressed the worthy Baronet's deep concern at the reflections which he believed had been thrown on his public, and possibly his private character and honour, and particularly alluded to the hand-bill and pub lic advertisement by which the meeting was convened. Under no other circumstance should he have thought it becoming to present himself at that meeting. He was there for the purpose, and all he demanded was the justice of not being condemned unheard. The Chairman here read the requisition and appeal by which the meeting was assembled, signed, as we before observed, by the yeomen and gentlemen of the district. As soon as the reading was concluded, Mr. NORWAY came forward, and said, as Sir Colman Rashleigh appeared aggrieved by the wording of the requisi tion, he would at once acknowledge that he drew it up— and more, that he had Sir Colman Rashleigh in his eye at the time he drew it. Sir C. RAsilLE.l.Gii—l thank you, Sir, for the avowal. The letter of Mr. Trevanion was then read by Sir C. Raslileigh, who, after speaking regretfully of the illness of Mr. T., observed that it was most willingly indeed that he 'Was the medium of making known the sentiments of so old and tried a Reformer. Mr. T. stated that he had read With mixed feelings of satisfaction and regret the advertise ment in the pavers subscribed by many names of the first respectability in their hundred (Trigg). His gratification had arisen from the spirit manifested, and from observiug that cot a moment had been allowed to elapse before they determined to avert the threatened danger to the cause of Reform, and to unite, as they had justly termed it, for the protection of' their interests. His regret was that the excite ment. of the moment should have led them to use expressions which he was sure their deliberate opinions would condemn. Whether, having done battle in the ranks of Reform for half a century, he was or was not to consider himself a member of the " Whig aristocracy" of the county who had " deserted the cause of real Reform," of the Whig aris tocracy whom they accused of having fled from their posts, he would say, that a charge more unfounded, as far as he was concerned, and he sincerely believed, as far as the old leaders generally were concerned, could not he imagined ; and he was sure that their better judgments would re-con sider and retract what in a moment of impulse they had advanced. He was at a loss to conjecture en what grounds such a charge could be founded against Sir Colman Rash leigh, to whose exertions the cause of Reform in this country was so greatly indebted. He had requested him (Sir C. R.) to be the bearer of his feelings to the meeting of Trigg, as the deliberations and determinations of such a meeting might be great benefit to the Reform cause. With respect to Sir Wm. Molesworth, his opinion was that his conduct 'in Parliament had fully redeemed the pledges lie had given, and as the advocate for the remodelling of the House of Peers, the abolition of Tithes, and the ballot, he (Mr. T.) should have supported him.---(Hear, hear, and applause.) Having concluded the reading, Sir COLMAN RASHLEIGH said—" Now, gentlemen, you will allow me to say a word in my own behalf. I should not be a mortal man if I could have read for the first time the kind expressions of my friend, Mr. Trevanion, with indifference. You will doubtless conceive that what he has said of me, and of those who for thirty years have acted with me in the cause—the cause to which I have been devoted from youth to manhood, and from manhood to old age, for I am now within a few years of the number assigned as the age of man—could not but make me feel strongly, as it brought to my mind the recollection of those scenes of struggle and of battle, in which so many of you have been engaged with me. Mr. Tre vanion has, gentlemen, in a certain way, appeared here as my advocate ; I thank him for the generous expressions of kindness with which his letter is filled. But no man must be an advocate for me where my character is con cerned. I stand simply upon the footing of justice. I ask you to do me justice. I come for the purpose of clear ing my character of the stain cast upon it ; and if I suc ceed, may good come of it to the cause which, so help me God, I never have deserted. It is said, and I take it to myself, that I, as one of the " Whic , aristocracy," have de serted the cause, and, as one of the " old leaders," have flinched from my post. I ask what cause ? what post ? I know not exactly what post is meant ; but allow me to call to your recollection the last time, I believe, I appeared on my post ; that is, gentlemen, at the general election in Ja nuary, I think, 1834. I then proposed Sir Wm. Moles worth, and in so doing I judged it necessary, and had good reasons to take a good distinction which I might hereafter have to act upon. The line which in politics I then drew was this.—(Here the Hon. Baronet read from a newspaper report of his speech on the hustings.) Withi n the pale of the institution, that is the Government by Ki ng, Lords, and Commons, and of legal provisions for the instruction of the people by an Established Church—these being re cognised inviolable—no question of detail, no minor dif ference or modification of opinion, should prevent me from giving the right hand of fellowship to my brother Refo rmers. Sir At that time I was a qualified supporter of Wm. Moles worth ; although differing in many material points, th ose points appeared not so material to my mind s osuper sede the necess it y I f e lt for all Reformersbeing t united. Gentleme n , I con ti nue d Sir Wm. Molesworth, s sup porter up to the ti me o f the registration meeting ; and then I still sa id I wou ld g i ve hi m my support as far as conscience and conviction would allow me to do so. At this time the session had not closed ; and the question of a r e f orm of the House of Lords had not been agitated.— (Hear.) But soon after this I saw an article in the London Review, of which Sir William Molesworth is proprietor, containing a most violent attack on the House of Lords ; in fact, it went nearly to saying that the House ought to be abolished. At the same time I read the report of Sir William Molesworth's speech at the close of the session, in which he stated that he should support a motion for re modelling the House of Lords ; and I at the same time saw a speech of Mr. Roebuck, Member for Bath, whom I know to be intimately connected with Sir William Molesworth, and with that section of the House to which they are both attached, in which (speech of Mr. Roebuck) it was predicted that a motion would be made. in the ensuing session of Par liament, for remodelling the House of Lords. Under these circumstances, considering that my supporting Sir Wil- TEE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1836. Liam Molesworth, in favour of a motion for remodelling the House of Lords, would be a dereliction of the pledge by which I had bound myself, I did what a man of honour ought to do. Gentlemen, I am un fortunately situated. Sir William Molesworth being abroad, I do not feel myself entitled to publish the cor respondence between us without his sanction. I think, however, I may venture to state the contents of my letters, as they do not affect Sir W. Molcsworth in the least degree. The worthy Baronet stated in the letter that at the time Sir William had called on him, he had not seen an article on the House of Lords in the London Review, nor was he aware of the opinions on the subject held by one section of the House of Commons—that it was not from these cir cumstances but as coupled with his own declaration, that he (Sir Coiman Rashleigh) inferred that he (Sir William Molesworth) would vote for Peerage Reform ; and in formed him that in such case he could not support him. He wrote not with a view of influencing Sir William, but for the sake of his own principles and consistency ; and he could contemplate no case in which he should feel it his duty to vote against him. Sir William's reply, (the worthy Baronet continued) was manly and open as usual, but the principle he took it appeared to him would impair that of the co-ordinate jurisdiction of the House of Lords. He (Sir Colman Rashleigh) was far from asserting that great as the change would be were the constitution of the House of Lords altered, that under all imaginable circumstances such change would be improper. A conjuncture might arise to render it as necessary as the change in the succession in 1688 ; but it would clearly be justifiable only under the most absolute necessity—nothing less could warrant so hazardous an experiment. Nothing more could be required until the means afforded the people under the Reform Bill had been found inefficient. The measure would not only be unnecessary but mischievous : it would convert the Government into a representative democracy, to prepare the way for the Conservative party to return with increased power. Many other persons were in a similar position with himself ; he had not consulted them, but he was aware how they felt. The article in the London Review, to which he referred, entitled " Close of the Session," contained, in his opinion, particularly pages 222 and 277, revolutionary doctrines. Mr. NORWAY felt bound to say, they found from Sir Colman's statements that he was still ready to go with the people, and he was deserving of their best thanks. There was not now the slightest ground for impeachment against him. But the question naturally arose what were they to do ? They went with Sir William almost to the last man, but still their enemies were in the field, and canvassing actively north, south, east, and west. Sir bOLMAN RASHLEIGH stated that he had already circulated notices in different places, calling upon the voters not to pledge themselves to Lord Eliot, and assur ing them that a candidate would come forward to oppose him on the liberal interest, and that active measures would be taken by the friends of Reform. Mr. HOCICUN felt, with Sir William Molesworth, that they must obtain a full and efficient reform of the Haase of Lords ; and that nothing but the ballot would prevent agricultural districts of this country falling completely under the aristocratic nomination. It would be quite unneces sary to say a word as to the propriety of a parting address to Sir William Molesworth, which he held in his hand, and which, without any further observation, he begged to pro pose for adoption. The address having been read, Mr. NORWAY seconded the address. When they read Sir William's address, they considered him dismissed from the representation ; and, in whatever way his dismissal took place, they still felt it must be a disgrace. And a disgrace it would be to them to have dismissed such a man.—(We don't dismiss him !) He was confident at the time that an exertion of public spirit on their part would recal him ; but when he came to consider, he must not say his desertion, but the lukewarmness manifested towards him, and its con sequences, he felt all the hopelessness of the task. How ever they might regret it, his noble-spirited retirement must be acquiesced in ; and the determination had been again come to, that all classes of Reformers should unite to sup port a man of liberal principles, and to prevent the county from once more falling into the hands of the Tories. It should he their watchword in the battle—their gathering cry to the action—the many shall not be subject to the few. This was the principle recognised by the Reform' Bill, when the franchise was distributed to the great body of the people.—(Hear.) This was the principle which led Sir W. Molesworth to demand the ballot. And above all, it was the principle which led him fear lessly to threaten a reform of the House of Lords. It was idle for the Whigs to assert principles in the House of Commons, and yet refuse to insist on their recognition in the House of Lords. Reform of the House of Com mons necessarily implies a Reform of the House of Lords. All power was at present in the hands of the irresponsible House of Peers. Unless that House were re-modelled, and on a liberal plan, a reform of the other House was in deed of but little worth. Let them either introduce the principle of the responsibility of Lords, or give up the prospects of Reform. He thought it right that their feel ings should be known, particularly on these two points— Pecrame Reform and Vote by Ballot. It was perfectly clear that their first duty was to secure the seat of Sir William Trelawny, the tried friend of the people. He had gone Land in hand with Sir William Molesworth, and baying se cured him, let tliern go to the next best man they could obtain. The Tories, they had heard, were already on foot, and having sent a requisition to Lord Eliot, he was now in the field, No doubt his Lordship has considerably im proved in his knowledge of military tactics during his recent mission from the high and puissant Arthur, Duke of Wel lington, to the arch tyrant, Don Carlos ; yet they would not surely be intimidated by the man who had received so severe a check from that mirror of Knighthood, Sir Samuel Spry—(Great laughter)—and it would go hard indeed, if they could not give him a harder blow.—(Laughter.) The address to Sir Wm. Molesworth was put from the chair and carried unanimously, and with every mark of respect. SIR COLMAN RASHLEIGH meant to say distinctly that if what he (Mr. Norway) had said with respect to the Ballot and the Reform of the House of Lords, merely ex pressed his own sentiments, or those of the Meeting, he could make no objection ; but if he was to understand that the person hereafter to be brought forward as a candidate, and in the bringing forward of whom be should perhaps be instrumental, was to be required to go such lcngth—(No, no) —he must disavow his concurrence on his part. He could assure them that their choice was limited, and that want of union and decision would inevitably let Lord Eliot walk over the course. Mr. NORWAY and Mr. ROSEVEAR both observed that the object was rather to express the march of opinion among the constituency, than any view of binding any can didate on that meeting to such opinions. Mr. ROSEVEAR hoped Sir Colman would now go on happily with them as he used to before.—[Sir Colman, with evident feeling, replied that he hoped so too ; it would break his heart if he did not ; and he would rather break his heart than break his faith.] One difficulty they would have to contend with had just struck him—the power of the purse would be brought to bear against them. One fact he must state, in justice to Sir William Molesworth ; he had received a letter from Mr. Woolcombe, on his part, stating Sir William's readiness to support Sir W.Trelawny, or any Liberal candidate, containing his subscription, the handsome sum of 2001.—(Great applause.) Mr. Rose vear here observed that it was not so very difficult a mat ter to fight the Tories, if they would but all go on together. Sir COLMAN RASHLEIGH then rose, and said he was about to take a rather strong step ; they were losing pre cious time. He might as well say at once that the person he had in view, although he could not answer for his ac cepting their offer, was Sir. Hussey Vivian, who it should be recollected was a Member of the Government, as Master-General of the Ordnance, and therefore would not, for the sake of the Government, be inclined to start without a very strong probability of being returned, as it was well known that Lord John Russell's defeat in Devon shire bad been greatly prejudicial to the Administration. A Resolution, expressive of the satisf ac ti on o f t h e Meeting at Sir Colman Rashleigh , s explanation, &C., having been unanimously agreed to, A requisition was then drawn up to Sir Hussey Vivian, and immediately received many signatures.—Si r Colman Rashleigh then took leave, and was loudly cheered. The evening drawing in, the meeting adjourned back to the New Inn, wh ere the resolution relative to Sir William Trelawney was p asse d w ith unanimity and approbation.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1836. A Meeting of Reformers---some report of which will be found in another part of The Sun—took place a few days since at St. Mabyn, for the purpose of selecting a candidate for the representation of East Cornwall, in the room of Sir WILLIAM MOLES WORTH, who, it may be remembered. has intimated his intention of resigning. At this Meeting it was proposed to call on Sir WILLIAM TRELAWNEY and Sir HussEY VIVIAN, both excellent Reformers, the former especially, in order that the Tories might be frustrated in their attempts to smuggle in a candidate of their own. It gives us pleasure to state that the opinions expressed at this Meeting were of the most decided character, each speaker vieing with the other in the declaration of his attachment to Reform, in its most comprehensive sense. The remarks of Mr. NORWAY in particular on this subject were admirable. He observed that Reform in the Commons was of little or no avail, unless it were followed up by Reform in the Lords. This is true to the letter, as the expe rience of the last two sessions, during which the two Houses have been playing a game at cross-purpos es with each other, abundantly proves. If Reform is to be a substance instead of a sound—something to feel the positive benefit of, instead of merely to prattle about ; the Upper House must be brought within reach of the popular influences. As at present constituted, it stands an isolated body in the country ; having few or no sympathies in common with the people, whose existence it scarcely condescends to recognize. Sooner may men expect to gather grapes from thistles, than to reap the full harvest of Reform, so long as the Lords possess those irresponsible privileges which years of Tory migovernment h ave enabled them to exercise, just as suits their caprices. Time, we are told, changes all things ; but the ETND nuRsT-led Lords are an exception to this rule. The intolerant spirit with which they were cussed years since, they are cursed with still. We agree, there fore, with the opinions expressed, by Mr. LEADER, in Taunton, and by Mr. NORWAY, in St. Mabyn, that the Lords must be reformed, and that the sooner this Reform is set about, the better. While on this subject, we cannot do better than quote a portion of the address which is shortly to be presented to Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH by his East Cornwall con stituents. There is a stern, significant meaning in every line of it. " We ,have seen in you," say the electors, " the able and perseVering opponent of all aristocratic abuses—the steady friend of all real Reforms both in Church and State—the supporter of retrenchment and economy in all branches of the Government—the enlightened advocate of the Ballot ; and—what is not the least of your merit in our eyes— a friend to the thorough Reform of the House of Lords." We beg the attention of our readers to that part of the proceedings of the Common Council of the City of London yesterday, which relates to the contemplated improvements at the west end of Cheapside. It ap pears that the City Lands Committee, to whom the matter had been referred, recommended that the letting of the ground for building in this quarter should not be any longer delayed. This recommendation, we are happy to say, was over-ruled, by a large majority, in favour of a motion made by Mr. R. L. JONES, the able mid enlightened Chairman of the Committee, who superintended the building of London Bridge, and the other improvements lately made in the City ; the effect of which motion was to leave the question in statu quo for the present, with the view of extending the sphere of operations. This we think a very judicious mode of proceeding, and we trust Mr. JONES'S views will be carried into effect. It is quite evident to any one that has even half an eye in his head, that the houses which now jut out in so unsightly and inconvenient a manner between St. Martin's-le-Grand and St. Paul's church-yard, must come down. We are really surprised that any plan— bearing to be a plan of improvement—of which this was not a main feature, should ever have been devised. It would have been infinitely better to have let things remain as they were. If traffic Was obstructed in the very throat of the city, and the view of St. Paul's, the grandest ornament of the metropolis, intercepted, it was at least by a substantial pile of brick and mortar that this was done—note it is by a single tenement which makes a supremely ridiculous figure de prived of the support it received from its neigh hours.

The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock 7j r n.e ~-..:~ side will be a subject of derision to the whole world, and a standing monument of the folly and incapacity of those under whose direction it shall have been done. The only things then wanting, would be the statues of Mr. Deputy WESTWOOD and Mr. Deputy GIBBS, placed in the middle of the street, the one in the turning to St. Paul's Church-yard, the other in the opening towards Newgate-street. This is an obstructive honour to which these gentlemen are justly entitled. With the former we quite agree in one thing. We would much rather see the City of London prosperous than beautiful, that is to say, if we were called upon to decide between these two attributes. But we wish to see the metropolis of the British Empire both prosperous and beautiful. And we hazard nothing in saying, that one of the most likely ways to make it prosperous is to make it beauti ful. If Mr. Deputy WESTWOOD is not convinced of this, let him take a walk into some—indeed almost any—of the streets for which we are indebted to the " wisdom of our ancestors," and he will see the inter ruption which trade suffers from the narrowness of the thoroughfares. We also include the health of the citizens in the prosperity of the city, and we know of nothing more essential to health than a free circulation of pure air—which can be obtained only by pulling down houses, and widening avenues. The fourth Report of the Committee of the Vestry of St. George's, Hanover-square, has been sent to us. It relates to a very important subject—the expendi ture of the county of Middlesex—and deserves the serious attention of all who contribute to the county rates. It appears that great mismanagement has long prevailed in the quarter in which is lodged the power of levying and disposing of the county funds. We might, perhaps, not be exceeding the bounds of truth, were we to say, that the jobbing system has found favour in the sight of the Middlesex Magistrates. It is quite clear that the county has sustained considerable loss, both by the misapplica tion of its finances, and by the gross and culpable negligence of the Magistrates, in not keeping up a vi gilant inspection over their subordinate officers, for whose delinquencies they are therefore responsible. The money of the rate-payers has been given away to those who had no connection with, and rendered no service to, them—arrears have been allowed to accu mulate undemanded until they became prescribed by law, and could not be recovered—and defalcations to a large amount have occurred on the part of officers who have been excused from the derogatory ceremony of finding security for their good behaviour. All these things are exposed in the Report before us, which we recommend to the perusal of those whom it concerns so nearly—the rate-payers of the County of Middlesex. We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Thursday. The whole of the Ministerial Press cry out against the state of affairs in Spain and Portugal. It is quite manifest that the Doctrinaires will throw every difficulty in the way of the establishment of the Constitutions in these countries. "We do not be lieve," says the Journal des Debats, " that there are in Spain many advocates for a Republic ; neverthe less, according to some letters, it has been proclaimed at Tortosa, and according to others at Valencia. If we are well-informed, it was on the evening of the 14th inst., a few minutes after the departure of the mail, that the Government of Madrid received intelligence of this ; and it is certain that on the 12th it appre hended some attempts towards anarchy in the capital itself. This movement, which had been prepared several days before in the clubs, would have had the effect, had it succeeded, of placing the Government in the hands of men of more advanced opinions than the present Ministers, such as MM. ROSAGA and CARDERO, who, it is well known, will not shrink from any excess." Now this is altogether a fabri cation as gross as the object of it is dishonest. The Debats has had no information on the subject of the proclamation of a Republic in Tortosa and Va lencia ; the Spanish Government received no intelli gence of such outrages on the evening of the 14th ; and no apprehension was entertained of the proclama tion of a Republic in the capital, previous to the seizure by the National Guards of two wretches who uttered such a cry, being instigated thereunto by a French emigrant, who is strongly suspected of acting as a Ministerial spy. The Debats is also guilty of propagating what it must know to be a falsehood, in stating that the proclamation of the Republic was pre viously resolved upon by the clubs. Now the fact is, that there is but one club in Madrid, the members of which are opposed to the Government, being, in fact, neither more nor less than the agents of a faction in France which at present is secretly countenanced by LOUIS PHILIPPE. Of this club the President is the notorious Don LORENZO CALVO DE RAJAS, and the Vice-President the equally well-known ex-Procurador SEPTIEN. The majority of the members, including some writers in the Castellano, are mere adventurers, without property, principle, reputation, or moral influ ence. Their object is, if possible, to sow discontent and distrust among the people, and to wind up their labours by a general scramble for property. The pre sent French Government is quite prepared to counte nance them in secret, in order that they may hereafter furnish it with a pretext for declaring France an enemy of the Constitutional system, both in Spain and Por tugal. With this view several French and Italian re fugees have secretly been directed to proceed to Ma drid; and to others who have been noted for the ex treme restlessness of their dispositions, overtures have been made by the agents of the Police, in which pledges of support have been held out to them, pro vided they would scatter themselves through the most populous cities in the Peninsula. This is very gene rally known among the higher classes in Madrid, though it is difficult to convince them that the real ob jects of France are of a sinister kind. In the Ma drid correspondence of our high Tory Contem porary, the Post, published yesterday; the fol lowing notification of the fact is given in a letter from the Spanish capital, dated the 13th instant—" It is rumoured that the French Re publican refugees have arrived in Spain, and that many Italians are on the road to join their brethren of the I secret societies." Now, one half the individuals as suming the garb of political emigrants, are secret emissaries of the police, intended to work the downfall of Spanish liberty. But we have no serious appre hensions as to the result. Spain will triumph, and France will for ever tarnish her reputation by an in trigue alike disgraceful and contemptible. Fortunately the men now entrusted with the direction of Spanish affairs are no strangers to the duplicity which forms the staple of the character of the Doctrinaire admi nistration. They have not to learn the value of any pledge given by the Citizen KING in either his regal or his individual capacity. Senors CALATRAVA, GIL DE LA CUADRA, LOPEZ, MENDIZABAL, and RODIL are perfectly acquainted with the policy of the King of the FRENCH, and the tools of the regal des• potism which he honours with the empty title of Mi nisters. It is this knowledge we presume which has forced them into the determination to watch closely the proceedings of the emigrants, and to put down the secret associations by the strong arm of Constitutional law. We cordially approve of this determination. We call upon the Spanish Government to grant no resting place to those refugees, who seek to disturb the tran quillity of the people by the propagation of their wild disorganizing theories. In each of them will be found a spy and an emissary of the Doctrinaire Sovereign of the FRENCH. It is stated in the Messager of Thurs day that a revolutionary spirit is about to be mani fested in Naples and Piedmont, which must soon ex tend to Sardinia, Sicily, and the Tyrol. In Naples and Turin the populace are crying out for the Con stitution of 1812. The war of principle—of which so much has been written in anticipation of conse quences—has commenced in Europe. The French Foreign Legion in the service of the Queen of SPAIN is in a condition still worse than the British Auxiliaries under General EVANS. The fol lowing extract from the letter of a French Officer be longing to the Legion, which we copy from the Memorial des Pyrenees, describes a state of wretch edness happily unknown to the British Auxiliaries, if the last accounts' from San Subdstiatt be wol thy of credit :-- f‘ The Foreign Legion is in a very critical position. For some days past it has received no provisions : the soldiers feed on rancid bacon, and fall ill in great numbers. There is no more forage for the horses, and the Treasurer of the Legion has not got a sou. The contractors, who were afraid to ad vance their funds and their provisions when things were a little more quiet, are now unwilling to give any thing more : in fact, it would be difficult for them to do so ; they are all ruined, and are not paid for what they have already advanced. France cannot abandon this Legion, which is certainly a French corps ; it must be either succoured or withdrawn." THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

Our arrivals this morning are the French mails, and ship letters from Tobago, Jamaica, Philadelphia, and Mauritius, of 24th May. A French paper received this morning gives the following official statement of the Russian forces :-192 regiments of infantry, 276,000 men ; 97 regiments of cavalry, 63,000 ; cannoniers, artillery, &c., 27,000 ; troops in garrison, 42,000 ; soldiers in the colonies, 30,000 ; making a total of 408,000. To these must be added the irregular Cossacks, and the hordes of Asiatic troops, of which no regular account can be given. The disposable troops cannot be stated at more than 350,000 ; of which .55,000 are in Poland, and 90,000, at the disposal of the Government, in the Turkish provinces ; about 50,000 in Asia ; the rest in the capital, and the interior of the North of Russia. These miserable details partly explain the cause for the new levy of 200,000 men. THE FUNDS. We have very few arrivals this morning, and the express from Paris, being of a meagre description, has caused a stag nation in the various foreign funds. Consols, which closed at 881 to 881 for the Account, aro at present 884 ; Money, 88 to 884 ; Exchequer Bills, 2 prem. ; India Bonds, 4 prem. In the Foreign Market, very little doing at present, owing to the report of General Rodil having marched out of the capital on the 17th, with all the troops of the garrison, in the direction of Arragon and Valencia, to attack the Carlists. The speculators in Spanish Stock are, therefore, afraid to act, until they hear the result. Spanish Active, which left off at 24, receded this morning to 231 ; Passive, 731 ; Deferred, 9H ; Portuguese, 511- 52. i h Three per Cents., ; Colombian, 22i 23k; Mexican, 22-1- 231-; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 501- Consols have improved to 881 3 : for Account. HALF-PAST ONE. To the present hour we have no further arrivals from any quarter. The Lisbon mail may be expected hourly, but it will only bring one or two days' later information. Both the British and Foreign markets continue steady. Consols reached in the morning 88:1-, since which may be quoted 88i for the Account ; Exchequer Bills, par, 2 prem. ; India Bonds, 3 4' • India Stock, 255 256. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active, which was in the morning at 231 24, may be quoted at present 23k s ; Passive, 7-1 ; Deferred, 9 ; Portuguese, 50. , - 511; Colombian, 22i -23 ; Mexican, 22k- 234 ; Dutch, 50a; ; 3 per Cents., 311- 321. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 88a The arrival of the Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's at Torquay has contributed materially to enliven that fashion able watering place. Torquay has been visited by many per sons of rank, and is well filled at this time. Lady Cope, Sir Fleetwood Pellew, Lady Pellcw, Sir Robert Franks, Hon. Mrs. La Touche, Colonel Jones, and Rev. - Thomson, are amongst the arrivals since Saturday last. Sir A. and Lady Elton, Sir F. and Lady Drake, Lady Elizabeth Courtenay, Captain Norris, &c., have arrived at the Bath Hotel, Clifton. A grand ball was given on the 3d inst. in Algiers, to celebrate the return of Marshal Clauscl. The natives at tended in larger numbers than usual. The dresses of the Jewish ladies were generally of extraordinary magnificence. The prosecutors of gaming houses have, it seems, taken ground against higher game, but to end probably only in a .higher amount of hush money. These prosecutions, in short, have become such a farce, or rather trade, that the pub lic cease to look to them for any useful result. King Leopold, during his sojourn at Claremont, seemed exceedingly interested in having the gardens kept in the best order, and in the cultivation of all sorts of fruit and flowers which could add to its beauty. His table at the Palace of Lacken is oft supplied from the fruits grown at Claremont. Four young men of noble families have been ar rested in Hungary, and are to be tried for treason, accompa nied, in the event of their conviction, with the punishment of death and confiscation of their property. The trial will pro bably last for years to come. Bath, one would imagine, from the number of can didates announced or announcing themselves, had no present representative. Mr. Ludlow Bruges was some time since an nounced on the Tory side ; we now hear of Captain Scobell, R.N. ; and Sir W. Molesworth is also said to be spoken of by the Liberals. The Reformers are beginning to bestir themselves in the country, which is absolutely necessary, to expose the boast of the Tories that the friends to Aristocratical domina tion are increasing in number and strength. The leading Tories get up dinners in many instances to make a show, and pay for the tickets of their guests. The Reformers act from principle, and public dinners are now announced where their attendance will be voluntary, and not like that of a great portion of their political opponents, produced by intimidation end threats. As a coachman was leading two horses in the Rue de la Pail, in Paris, a washerwoman's cart, going at a rapid rate struck one of the horses on the chest with the shaft, which caused the immediate death of the animal. The horse in the cart then backed, and overturned a hackney coach coming be hind with six persons in it, none of whom were hurt. The man driving the cart was arrested. WEYMOUTII.—On Monday last we were pleased with the extraordinary performance of a sub-marine excursion by Mr. Orchard, the celebrated diver. Mr. Orchard com menced this wonderful undertaking about one o'clock, at high water, voyaging under water, from the New Pier Head to the entire length of the harbour, and some distance into the back water, then returning by the same route, he crossed a portion of the bay and emerged from the water at the steps in front of Luce's Hotel. The extent of distance which this perfor mance occupied, was considerably more than a mile, a length unparralleled, as we are informed, by any individual in a simi lar way, keeping constantly under water.—Sherborne Journal. A bacon merchant at Limerick, named William Hill, had an information laid against him last week for alarm ing his neighbours by a new and more refined method which he had lately introduced of killing his pigs, by shooting them with pistol bullets instead of cutting their throats, the latter practice being too shocking for the pig-killer's sensitive nerves. Last week a person was taken into custody by the Glasgow police for having fired a pistol at his son-in-law, a surgeon, in Hutcheson-town. The contents of the pistol stuck in the wall of the room nearly opposite the place in which the surgeon was standing. When apprehended, another pistol was tound in his pocket, ice led with sons The rather and son-in-law, it is said, had a quarrel previously, over immoderate potations. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COk: (THIS DAY.) OLD C RT. William Tayler, a private wat CO was indicted lee! r; liciously shooting at Capt. E. Windham Ha nmer, with t " to do him some grievous bodily harm.
